IMPORTANT One
of my aims in life is to try and hear everything that is supposed to be good!
That is in the world of prog/experimental/weird music. I wonder if I'm
getting there? This list regularly shrinks and grows, and is constantly
changing. As always, I welcome suggestions. i.e. anything new that I should
know? Before suggesting older stuff, check my collection & other lists on
this site, as I may already know it! But, you never know, I'm still amazed by
some things I missed! Excepting
any listed as "Original CD's wanted of these..." I'm not after
actual releases unless cheap! There are very few things that I actually
want/need for myself. Generally I'm researching, clutching at straws, looking
for odd missing items needed for projects. As much of this stuff is liable to
be of little or no interest to us, some is sure to be rubbish, a recording/copy
is usually adequate. I'm usually just interested in hearing the items below,
as a download or CDR copy, and/or we can barter/swap. I like to remaster LP
transcriptions to achieve CD quality in my archive, so please do not offer me
scratchy vinyl rips, nor ones that are low bandwidth or not transferred
directly, and especially not ones with jumps or bits of tracks missing. EX+
vinyl or better please! Are
you looking for something? Searching in vain? Why not email me:
utle2uk@btconnect.com with your wants list? I have a huge archive. We may be
able to come to a swap arrangement! I can swap physical CDRs, or online via
flac or mp3. Or you can buy. [r#######]

French research: 1970/80s acts of possible interest and/or need to
hear...
We are after complete recordings
of these singles...
Aleph - Totem /
Zone limite
Equinox - Alicia
/ Le Fou Du Royaume De Nacre
Horizon - Bouffon
/ La nuit tombe
Incidence - Spleen
/ L'idole
4Z - Fais la
fête / Pennsylvanie
4Z - Laisse
la plage aux vagues / Faits divers
Pyrithe -
L'Escalier / Soleil Matin - Sudio d'Antibes recording, with Jean-Pierre Massiera
involved
Reincarnation -
Souvenir D'un Enfant / Souvenir D'un Enfant (Suite)
Agartha - Fini Pour Toi / Jacky Et Freddy, 7"
private (1982) reputedly prog - 30secs at 45tours
site- sounds like a funky Hackett with a bad drummer and punky female vocals,
so not very promising!
Aiguade - CHANSONS DES TEMPS FIGÉS, LP
Baccara International BI 001 732 (1976) prog-folk?
Ananke - Veprabilly/C'ui Qui L'dit
Qui Y'est - almost unanimously listed as
jazz-rock! Musea: Quatuor de Dijon, ANANKE produit un jazz-rock technique,
virtuose et teinté d'humour. Le 45 tours "Veprabilly/C'ui Qui L'Dit Qui Y
Est" (1982) peut évoquer les oeuvres de Frank ZAPPA ou ZAO, tout en empruntant
à Albert MARCOEUR et ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN leur fantaisie et leur goût du
pastiche. It also gets listed in the French punk discography!
Belle De Jour -
Sustain Love / Etoiles De La Nuit, 7" (Village Music 81 101)
Germain Hubert Ales - same, MC private
(1982) non-album material, Pudeur Et Ordure Douée de Raison, etc.

/ Le Requin Central (7",
Single) Barclay 61.812 1973 need B Side
Metabolisme - Highway Over You / Tempus - 7"
FLVM 4517 (1979) need non LP single A side - b-side on LP
Sanctus - Jane / Go To
Hell, 7" Studio 35 BM 66 (1973) Go To Hell = nice
heavy/brassy psych prog, need A Side

just be folk, but has some interesting musicians on it
Are any of the following
bands/soloists worth hearing?...
